Dahua WizColor 5x59-PRO and SmartLight 5x59-IL new series
HDR reduces the dynamic range in the final picture on CCTV. It uses the ability to see a wider range of contrast to recover more detail and lighten dark areas to improve the picture. It's not the same as watching a HDR TV where HDR increases the amount of visible dynamic range to deepen dark areas. -
Dahua WizColor 5x59-PRO and SmartLight 5x59-IL new series
I'm guessing you like soft pictures. That looks perfect to me and exactly how sharp I'd like my pictures to be. The detail and sharpness are sublime. -
Dahua WizColor 5x59-PRO and SmartLight 5x59-IL new series
That looks truly aweful. Not only are the skull brothers out of focus but so is the scarecrow 1/2 way down the lawn and other items in dark areas. It looks as if the iris might be wide open causing a very shallow dof and the camera is strugling with the contrast. I see contrast issues with the... -
Kid's room camera recommendations
Be aware of the drawbacks of bedroom cams. Highly recommend you don't enable remote access and certainly don't port forward if you do, but go locally hosted vpn on your router. There have been numerous incidents of pervs watching children by hacking security cams. My advice would be keep them...- CCTVCam

So confused on firmware for IPC-COLOR4K-X ?
Yeah the X version certainly achieves a much better picture. I wish I'd gone X's now. The issue is the bullet formats drawbacks - larger, more visible, easy to turn around, wiring exposed. -
New CodeProject.AI Object Detection (YOLO11 .NET) Module
Do you still need video cards for the higher YOLO modules to work? AMD processors seem to getting some pretty serious graphics capability built in eg 8500G has 256 Stream Processors, the 8600G 512. The next gen 9000G series are supposed to be more powerful still although I couldn't find any... -
Woman assaults witches in Salinas .. Ring camera captures as much as possible
Hire a female bouncer, dress her up as a witch & paint her face so she no longer looks human. Put her out at the time the woman usually jogs by, watch the action.- CCTVCam

Camera recommendation for a wide area
This is a night photo but also shows the power of pointing back towards a property. This is my rear yard which isn't approachable from behind the camera (normally anyway, alsway posisble with some fence etc climbing). The advanatge is all the main breakin poins covered. With the camera pointing...- CCTVCam

Dahua WizColor 5x59-PRO and SmartLight 5x59-IL new series
The lighting is handled beter on the new firmware esepcially at noon. However, I don't think the jaggies are a bad thing. I much prefer the fir trees on the right and the stones / plants in front of the house on the earlier firmware 0827. They're supposed to be jagged. That's the needle detail... -
Camera recommendation for a wide area
If you're already got a ptz watching the driveway, then I'd be inclined to do what Hobs suggested and mount it on a post looking back towards the house. One of the issues of pointing cameras away from a property is people close up can walk under the cameras vertical field of view and anything...- CCTVCam

Camera recommendation for a wide area
Without ambient light the 4Kt's and 180 derivatives will see nothing. The night colour cameras do need a minimum level of illumination to work. Leaving the cameras built in white LEDS on will provide some light but it's intensity and reach will be very limited so you would need other dusk to...- CCTVCam

Worlds First Review - Dahua DH-IPC-HDW5849H-ASE-LED / IPC-Color4K-T - 2.8mm Turret
You'd think so but no, you won't be able to enlarge the picture very much before it loses definition. You've got the best chance on one of the variable aperture cameras as these can narrow the aperture when it's bright as an alternative to increasing the shutter speed (a balance is needed here)... -
Worlds First Review - Dahua DH-IPC-HDW5849H-ASE-LED / IPC-Color4K-T - 2.8mm Turret
You don't need to go that high unless you want to. My cameras are at about 6ft 6 inches. Maybe the lowest on here? Its very rare cameras are ever attacked on residential properties and if they were, they'd have to walk up close to the lens 1st which means you'll almost certainly get a good... -
Worlds First Review - Dahua DH-IPC-HDW5849H-ASE-LED / IPC-Color4K-T - 2.8mm Turret
I wasn't impresded with the daytime picture, Night was impossible to assess due to there being no camparison in the video I linked between the night picture, the actual light as seen by an eye and another known camera. Overall not impressed. It maybe there isn't a great low light sensor between... -
Worlds First Review - Dahua DH-IPC-HDW5849H-ASE-LED / IPC-Color4K-T - 2.8mm Turret
From this review, I'm not very impressed with the sample footage: youtu.be/se5U1hmTq9A?si=SrqhO-giTWG2-YZg (Add https:// to the front of this. I had to remove it top stop it embedding as media) I would keep my 4KT's over that if typical. Could be down to settings as there looks to be a bit of...
